* Sleaford CC Under 10s clinched their league title with victory in their top-of-the-table clash with Woodhall Spa at London Road.

Alex Barker’s 36 not out saw Woodhall recover to a nett score of 231-6 as the wickets were shared among Emmeline Hannan, Joshua Nel, Micah Young, Liam Henry and Alex Lawson.

Sleaford’s reply got off to a positive start, with Joshua Nel (17) and Reagan Panton (22) taking the attack to the Woodhall bowlers.

Having already secured the league title the previous week, Sleaford U10s travelled to Hartsholme to conclude their season’s fixtures. 

Having won the toss, Sleaford bowled first and their attack found wickets hard to come by on a flat pitch.

Emmeline Hannan (3 for 7,) and William Green (1 for 8) were the pick of the Sleaford bowlers as the Hartsholme innings closed with a nett score of 217-5 from their 16 overs.

In reply, openers Joshua Nel (21) and Reagan Panton (7) got Sleaford off to a flying start with a partnership of 47 in their four overs. 

Micah Young (10) and Liam Henry (10) kept the momentum going before a partnership of 54 between Emmeline Hannan (6) and Oliver Sneath (26) ensured Sleaford cruised home to victory with a huge nett score of 336-1.

The win concluded a superb season for Sleaford U10s having finished the season unbeaten and top of the Under 10s League table.
